Hello my wonderful Grade 5 superstar! 👋
I'm Kashef and today we're learning how to Measure Angles with a Protractor! A protractor is a special tool that helps us measure how wide an angle is in degrees (°). It's like a ruler for angles! Ready to become an Angle Measurer? Let’s go! 🚀
🧠 What is a Protractor?
A protractor is a half-circle tool with numbers from 0° to 180°. It has two scales: inner and outer.
The middle point (center) goes on the vertex of the angle.
📏 How to Measure an Angle
- Place the center of the protractor on the vertex (corner) of the angle.
- Line up one side of the angle with the 0° line.
- Read the number where the other side crosses the scale.
- Use the correct scale (inside or outside) so the number makes sense.
🎯 Let’s Practice Measuring!
Example 1: Angle measures 45°
Example 2: Angle measures 120°
